US EditionComeback Bid Comes up Short as WVU Falls to TCU

- On Saturday, TCU outlasted West Virginia 23-17 in the Coal Rush, handing the Mountaineers their fifth straight loss.
- Using true freshman Scotty Fox Jr. as their fourth quarterback, West Virginia struggled with injuries and roster instability, amid about 80 new players.
- Josh Hoover finished 24-of-39 passes for 247 yards, Nate McCashland made three field goals of 35, 22 and 41 yards, and TCU outgained WVU 343-342.
- TCU now sits at 6-2 in the standings, received votes in last week's AP Top 25, has next Saturday off, and will host Iowa State on Nov. 8 after recovering the onside kick to seal the win.
- Despite a late rally by Scotty Fox Jr., his two touchdown passes, including a 28-yarder to Jeff Weimer, highlighted WVU's offense held to 17 or fewer points five times and leaning on pass with limited rush.
